1053.82 Life and Death

1053.821 The decaying and growing are complementary. Death is a cofunction of birth: the father is dying; the child is being bom. There never has been a real negative except as a positively complementary function of the oppositely directioned positive.

1053.822 We do not have two Universes—“this world” and “the next world.” Death is only the nonresonant, between-frequency silence of our oscillatory “no-stopover” passages through the Grand Central Station of the vector equilibrium’s equilibrious center, as the lags in our cognition “realizations” time us into life’s inherently aberrated imperfection aspects somewhere off center.

1053.823 As we learn through experience to identify and comprehend ever more inclusively and precisely the generalized principles manifest in our experiences, and as we learn to communicate and share our recognitions of these manifests, we gradually reduce the lag rates in human cognition and come ever nearer to realization of the perfection.

1053.824 Apprehension is the physical brain’s coordinate storing of all the special case, physically sensed information of otherness, integral (the child’s thumb sucked by its mouth) or separate (the mother’s udder sucked by the child’s mouth.) Comprehension is the metaphysical mind’s discovery of the meaningful interrelationship between the special-case information data that are neither implicit in, nor inferred by, any of the special-case information data when taken only separately—the meaning discovered by mind being the generalized principles manifest exclusively by the interrelationship variables and constants. Awareness means apprehending while also intuitively comprehending that the excitement over the novelty of the incoming information is significant because possibly pregnant with meaningful principles. (Compare Sec. 526.18.)

1053.825 Since “life” is experientially demonstrable to be weightless—ergo, metaphysical—its awareness and comprehension of meanings synchronize exclusively with the nonphysical intervals concentrically occurring between the only physically sensed frequencies of exclusively inanimate, radiantly propagated, electromagnetic-wave phenomena.

1053.826 Both death and life are complementary metaphysical functions interspersing and embracing our electromagnetic physical experience. Life’s physical reality is constituted by the unique frequency identifications of the chemical elements and their atomic components as well as the humanly tunein-able “color” frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum’s concentrically interpositioned occurrences (usually published by humans as a chart of positions along any one radius of the omnidirectional comprehensive concentric system). The metaphysical cognition of life-death reality is constituted exclusively by all the intervals between and beyond—inwardly and outwardly all of the comprehensive electromagnetic phenomena sensed by human organisms.

1053.827 The music of John Cage is preoccupied with the silent intervals; his growing audience constitutes the dawning of the transition of all humanity into synchronization with the metaphysical rather than the physical. The decibel amplification of youth’s “rock” music has switched its physical beat into the old silent intervals and is inducing metaphysical preoccupation in its listeners.
